more OF Mr.. Sahin's business cronies in

club. The party were seated around the
mahogany, Mr.. Sabin in the guests scat,
expectant and gratefully appreciating the
honor, when the chef appeared and i'm
formed Mr.. Hoyt, the organizer of the
affair, that the oven in the boss range of
the club had been blown out, and that il
was quite impossible 10 serve the dinner.
Mr.. Sabin said, "Never mind, boys; thank
you just the same" and all left the
board. There is joke in this story. II
is true that Mr.. Hoyt and his comrades
invited Mr.. Sabin TO n spread, but il is
also true that they thought that the chef
might say something to stop it, and SO
instructed him. The chef did rs he was
told, and Mr.. Sabin left town fully be-
heving that that range had been blown

A provincial contemporary contains an
account of n new missionary enterprise
one for distributing spectacles among the
poor. This may seem at first sight very
prosaic thing to do, but we recognize in it
the very genius of kindness. II was eyes
to the blind was one of the most eXcus-
able boasts of job in his moments of par
donable complacency. Such may be the
satisfaction of DIR. Edward Waring, OF
Mazda Vale, who is credited with initiating
this piece of beneyolence among the in
mates of St. Giles workhouse and the
Cleveland Street Sick asylum years ago.
Such n service implies much trouble and
time. 1t is of little use to supply spec
tacles to the poor without much personal
